A spokesman for the military unit has informed Greenville County Council that the facility originally thought to be for helicopter maintenance, will also be involved in training crews to lift and transport heavy sling loads.
It is estimated that 40 or more takeoffs per week are planned. Some of the takeoffs will involve lifting 25,000 pounds of concrete by sling and transporting the loads to several airports, including Anderson, Greenwood, Oconee and Pickens.
The South Carolina National Guard also plans to fly low-level helicopter training exercises at altitudes of less than 500 feet.

Brock Adams will celebrate his 99th birthday this month. A farmer and textile worker for most of his life, Adams has arguably had a positive impact on more lives than any living resident of the Slater-Marietta community.
His County Council member, state Representative and Senator read proclamations enumerating his many accomplishments and contributions to his community, proclaiming a day in his honor.
His current pastor commended him for not being a “church hopper” and moving from church to church because of disagreements. Being disagreeable is not a part of Brock Adams. He has been a member of the same church most of his life and at age 99 continues to serve as a deacon.
